I visited Daytona Bike Week 2011 this past weekend for a few days. We tried to keep busy riding and enjoying the sites and here are a few of those including the Wall of Death at the Iron Horse Saloon. These first 4 videos are in the order that the “Wall of Death” show are done making it the next best thing to being there! Be sure to check out how close the lady driving gets to the camera in video #2 and the rider grabbing dollar bills out of your hand and some great ending stunts in video #3. The following videos feature bikes cruising Main Street and a couple of videos of the “Loop”. Naturally the Loop videos are a little shaky with a decent bit of motorcycle and wind noise so you might neeed to turn down your volume. It was easiest to just hold the camera and go. I hope you enjoy them.

I visited Daytona Bike Week 2011 this past weekend for a few days. It was crowded and you could tell that the people manning the booths were all pretty burned out by the time Saturday night rolled around where a mixture of spring breakers joined the masses and really had Main Street packed! The noticeable trends this year seemed to be custom baggers, large front wheels and LED lighting all over your motorcycle. I didn’t care for any of it with the exception being the custom baggers. Check out the orange one in the photos below. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and like the employees, many seemed burned out by Saturday night as well. Here is page 2 of 2:

Ferrari Targets Fast-Lane Families With $359,000 FF Supercar

Ferrari SpA, Fiat SpA’s most profitable unit, will target wealthy families and golf bag- toting sports-car enthusiasts when it introduces the four-seat FF, the first Ferrari with four-wheel drive.



Ferrari aims to build 800 of the FF annually, with the first year of production already sold out, Ferrari Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo said in Geneva today. The car will be priced at 260,000 euros ($359,000).

“Four-wheel drive is a revolution for Ferrari,” said Fabio Barone, 38, chairman of the Passione Rossa owners’ club, who has two Ferraris. “You can finally drive a real Ferrari, with its extreme performance, to take your family skiing.”

Supercar sales are growing amid renewed optimism in the finance industry after the U.S. economy expanded 2.9 percent last year, the most in five years. U.S. sales of the world’s most expensive cars, a category that includes Ferraris and spans sticker prices from $200,000 to $400,000, may surge 146 percent this year after dropping 40 percent in 2010, according to Lexington, Massachusetts-based IHS Automotive.
